Because forme the very \\#rst thing which de\\#nes the space is the body. Even when there is nothing on stage but a single person, it’s enough for a whole world to open up in front of you. When making a production, the best situation for me is tobe in charge of both the costumes and the set design – because the two are deeply intertwined, and because that way I can make sure that the aesthetics, codes and references on either side \\#twith and complete one another.  \n➌  \nTHE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN  \nBACK  \n46  \nWHAT IS A COSTUME  \nEverything you wear on stage is a costume. Everything that relates to the body, everything that is a$ached to it, that is necessary to perform, whether visible or not to the audience, IS a costume. !e costume is a crucial tangible element in a theatrical representation – a reference to the imaginary.  \nWonders by Side-show cie © ARTHUR ANC ION  \n➌  \nTHE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN  \nBACK  \n47  \nSpeaking of ‘a costume’ o%en brings on a lot of resistance. How many times have I heard,‘Oh, no I don’t need a costume!’ Nowadays there is a sort of opposition to having costumes, one which has led to a fashion for the ‘non-costume’. A non-costume is what I ca& a stage out\\#t which clearly hasn’t been given any prior thought. But just because you wear something simple on stage doesn’t mean there’s no need for an initial thought process. A training out\\#t IS a costume; black trousers or a white t-shirt IS a costume. It is important tobe aware that whatever you wear on stage wi& be perceived as a costume. So if you chose a simple garment, do so consciously. Make it a deliberate choice! It is important to have a thought process and an artistic approach, and to make choices that help in translating the content or purpose of your creation/show.  \nA costume is closely linked with the dramaturgy of a show. It establishes codes and applies an extra layer of information on stage which can reinforce or de\\#ne the meaning of a performance. A costume is not something that fo&ows the rules of fashion! It fo&ows the rules of the production! Every performance has its own rules, or needs to invent them in close relation to the dramaturgical framework of the show. Everytime I create a costume, I need to reinvent the rules again. You have to keep coming up with new approaches, new ideas. And that’s what’s interesting: you never work the same way twice. It’s very cha&enging.  \n➌  \nTHE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN  \nBACK  \n48  \nWonders by Side-show cie © RAZZ IPHOTO  \n➌  \nTHE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN  \nBACK  \n49  \n!e art of it is to weave the threads between imagination and reality and to interlock them. !is process has an impact on the person wearing the costume. As a costume designer you help to create a character on stage. You try to visualise the director’s intentions and to help performers become characters.  \nIt’s therefore very important to engage a costume designer at an early stage in the creation process. A costume designer needs tobe part of the whole creation process and not just an add-on at the \\#nal stage.  \nA very simple example: the choice of footwear is crucial. It de\\#nes everything: the way the body wi& stand on stage, the way the character wi& walk, the way the performer wi& feel. It can be a deliberate choice to go for not-so-comfortable shoes, for instance, in order to create an extra tension for the actor/performer. So footwear is an element I try to bring into the creation process as early as possible.  \n➌  \nTHE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN  \nBACK  \n50  \nWonders by Side-show cie © ALEXIS BERT HOLET  \n➌  \nTHE WONDER","cbCaipfMPlXVV8YO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipfMPlXVV8YO","pdf",1717618,22,"English","# SENSE OR NON-SENSE OF COSTUMES IN CIRCUS ARTS\n## THE WONDERS OF COSTUME DESIGN\n## WHAT IS A COSTUME\n## The role of a costume designer\n## Case study - THE HAIR DRESS FROM WONDERS","[{\"question\":\"What counts as a costume in circus arts?\",\"answer\":\"Everything you wear on stage is a costume, including what relates to the body and is necessary to perform, whether visible or not.
